sim memes and some rambles
Old sim meme everyone in my flist was doing not long ago.
Q: How long does your game take to load?
No idea exactly, but I'd say about 20 minutes
Q: When making a Sim, what do you prefer: adult male/adult female, teen male/teen female?
I play with maxis premades and don't create sims, but when I do it's mostly adults, any gender (usually created only for very particular things, like "lot keeper", cc testing, or background extras lol)
Q: How long does your Body Shop take to open?
Same as first question, but, when possible, I try to take out all of the unnecessary CC before using BS, so it can be faster.
Q: Do you make more sims in CAS or in Body Shop?
Again, I rarely do sims, but if do I only use CAS
Q: What's your favorite hair color to put on your Sims?
Plain boring black! :P
Q: How many babies have your Sims ever had from one set of parents?
2, 3 maybe. I'm not into big sim families or zomg! bunch of toddlers either (unless I'm doing some wired breeding experiment or something lol)
Q: How often do you experience a glitch?
Not too often, but I've never played the same hood for more than one generation (and for what I understand the longer a hood is played, the worse it gets)
Q: Do you make your sims, straight/gay/bi/lesbian, very often?
Depends what do you mean by often. I get bored by traditional playing and pairings very quickly, and tend to have several different games/hoods most of time too, so I like trying out all kind of possibilities with all kind of sims. In hoods I play more frequently, like Strangetown for example, all sims have been all of the above at least once, just not in the same game.
Q: Does your neighborhood have a theme?
Mostly no, but like I say, I always have more than game, and some do have themes. I did a castaway game once, a scifi hood, and a supernatural hood as well (all done on premade hoods with premades sims, of course, don't you get any crazy idea about me!! ROFL!)
Q: How many downloads do you have in your game?
In download folder 6GB atm, but have up to 10 or so with all of the thematic CC (which I only add to the game when needed.)
Q: Who is your favorite CC Body Shop creator (meaning: skins, eyes, hair, make-up etc)?
I don't have skins or eyes (expect mine) and barely no makeup, but I do have TONS of hairs and it's all simgaroop's (or at least most of it)
Q: Who is your favorite CC creator for build and buy?
Anyone who does completer/add on/matching sets to maxis items.
Q: How often do you play?
I used to play almost daily or every other day, but lately is more like once a week, if any
Q: Do you watch Sims machinama?
Nope
Q: Do you read stories/comics made with the sims?
Yep. Most of the time I have for simming stuff, I use reading other people's stories.
Q: What expansion packs do you have?
All of the EPs, but only a few SPs
Q: What are you views on building and decorating?
Time consuming and a bit exhausting at times, but it can be really entertaining for me, too. Depends on what I'm doing, I guess.
Q: What is some body shop CC that you tend to over use?
Over use!?? Dunno, I have tons of cloths and hairs, but I don't use any one in particular more than others. If any, it would be maxis items, because not matter how much CC I have, when doing makeovers and such, I always tend to look thru ingame cloths/hairs/makeup first.
Q: How often do you need to use "Familyfunds"?
Depends on what I'm doing really, but for the most part, ALL THE TIME and don't care! :P Not only, I do a lot of decorating, makeovers and such, so need the funds to buy the stuff, but I don't actually play the game much anymore, and even if I do, I'm kind of tired of doing the same repetitive things over and over with all the sims, in all the household, to get the same results, (like gaining cooking skills over and over and over just to get the same old turkey! or sending the sims to work day after day just to buy a new table) It was fun yes, at first and every time a new EP came out, but unless that I'm in fact doing some kind of specific challenge, I just use all kind of cheats as often as need/want.
Q: Do you like doll Sims?
If someone could please explain me what are doll sims first... XD
Q: Have you ever killed your sim(s) for the fun of it?
Not really, but I love doing asylum-type games in which sims are bound to die eventually, so in that sense you could say so. I also make my sims to play deathfor screens all the time. Does that count?? lol
Q: How old are you? And when did you start playing?
Never ask a lady her age!! rude ROFL But if you must know, I'm over 30, and started playing about 3 years ago.
Q: Do you ever base a sims family after your own home life?
I have, yes. I did once in sims 2 when I attempted building my house, and then when first played sims 3 as well, to try out the game, but never for too long. I also have a simself and sometimes even include my pets, BUT in general it doesn't really bothers me. TBH, I don't really get the awkwardness about playing simself/families that some other players seam to have, but guess it's all in the way of playing. I don't really approach the game in a realistic way much. (for me sims don't even die, because they can't always be resurrected or cloned, unless files are borked lol) .

New sim meme by wgroome
1. Which premade neighbourhood would you most like to live in if you were a Sim? Who would you make friends with and, more importantly, who would you avoid?
Strangely as it sounds, I personally wouldn't like to live in Strangetown too much because of the desert. In any case, I would rather Pleasantview (or Belladonna Cove maybe), but not sure about the neighbors. Anyways, if I were a sim living in Stown, I would stalk the Curious like a madwoman and avoid Erin the most, but If it were in PV, I would most probably try to meet Cassandra to at least have someone to talk to, and avoid everyone else!! lol
2. Community lots - your views? How do you use them or why don't you them?
I don't like communities lots much, however I enjoy it for the mere pleasure of watching what the rest of the sims do in there. Even without ACR, there's always love and friendships flourishing in the background (and maybe some conflict and dramas too)
3. Which is your favourite premade family, and why?
Curious and Beakers, because their awesomeness has no limits!! <3
4. If you could become any one of the premade Sims (from any neighborhood) for the day, which Sim would you like to be? What would you get up to?
Circe Beaker!! XD XD XD
5. If EA were making one, fully-functioning object that isn't in the game already, what would you chose?
*thiks for a while*
Maybe this would be more like features than objects, but I'd love if sims could swim in ponds and having the ability to do motel/hotel lots in regular hoods, not just vacation hoods, even better if they could be owned as in a bussiness. (probably some of it could be possible with mods, tho)
6. Which aspiration do you play least? Have you tried to combat this and make a few more?
Well, because I play with premads, I get to play with all kind of aspirations pretty much the same. tho personally don't like family much.
7. What is your favourite feature of the game?
Alien abductions! XD And in general, most of the paranormal additions in EPs, specially vampires and witches.
8. What is your least favourite feature of the game?
Weather probably. I like the seasons and all, but sometimes it feels like it's always raining in my games O_0 (and I have enough of that in RL!! ROLF)
9. What is the longest length of time you've played the Sims for (with a few toilet or snack breaks included)?
It's more the other way around, tho, I play on my RL breaks. Usually the game is just running there (paused) in the background, and I play a few minutes from time to time, never too long at once (besides even when I do have the time for it, and get bored easily)
10. If there anything in the game that you haven't done yet? (Played all the supernatural Sims? Attempted/completed a legacy?)
I've started legacies and always leave it by the time the founder dies, but in general legacies are not something I like doing anyways. In any case, I'd say doing a successful business, because I've never played with OFB features beyond the basics, and don't even know all the perks yet lol
*******
And (shallow) good news to finish...
I HAVE MY VIDEO CARD BACK!!! and everything looks soooooo pretty!! ^_^
(well, at least pretty pretty for me considering the quality I was getting)
I can even play beach lots with reflections ON and all!! YAY!!
But, wait ...
who's that!??
And what are they doing in a rainy tropical beach there?? ....
*shifty eyes*
We'll have to wait until I'm finish with, at least, the skins and eyes first ....
CHEERS!! :D
